@normdapito nice!  Annihilus is definitely the figure Im looking forward to the most at the moment.  Im out fishing all day tomorrow, but I will be checking for those pics as soon as I get back no doubt.  Thinks for the heads up!

I saw the Archangel sample in the booth, and one of the wings had fallen out. Looked like it was attached via ball and socket joints, but it's hard to tell when it's this early a prototype. Cap looks real good. Proportions are a little funny still, but they are really winning when it comes to variety of display options. I hope he keeps enough of that stuff to get 2-3 different looks for the figure. I'm guaranteed to purchase two just to display classic and Silver Age.

He explained some tie-ups along the lines of what kept them from making other Fantastic Four characters since Thing and Silver Surfer are also what's keeping them from making Namor.

What were the tie-ups? Is it anything to do with the time between last seen on screen?

I wasn't going to prod him for specifics. I don't even think official reasons have ever been disclosed about the nature of the delay between Thing and Torch. He wasn't going to get into it about Namor.

Oh, I thought y'all had discussed them more specifically. No worries.

Thanks for the info, Norm. Has anyone been on the DST panel?

DST just posted Annihilus on their Facebook. Looks incredible. Even showed off a small non-armored, probably unarticulated version crouching with the energy capsule thing (that’s normally on his chest) in his hand. I can’t wait for this one.

He looks great, as does Archangel and Cap. I'm really liking this seemingly new direction of a more streamlined articulation scheme, at least where applicable. Hopefully there's an inner thigh rotation in there, and if it functions well along with the rest of the articulation like the torso, these will be only getting better.

Looks pretty great. Not sure where they are getting the textured arms and legs from for a classic Annhilus though. Still not a deal breaker as the figure looks great. Happily sub him in for the lame 15 year old Hasbro one in my ML shelves and then ideally shift him over to the MS shelf as soon as ML does one.

(Pushes up glasses) ummmm ... that's a cosmic control rod; thank you. And no comics don't possess any sublimated male sexual repression clearly.
